that place people go to in the summer

My favorite part of the beach are the endless winds that make the heat seem bearable. If you were laying on the ground anywhere else in 90 degree weather you would feel the sweat pour out of you like a pitcher of lemonade. Laying there, toes in the sand -- only a few feet away from the crashing waves -- close enough to feel a light splash of water, but far enough away that you won't be swallowed by the sea.

Then there are the endless boardwalks that make up the Jersey Shore, ending at the Asbury Park Boardwalk. A piece of history that is slowly crumbling, yet is enchantingly beautiful; a reminder of the past that we all seem to be holding onto.
